http://makeashorterlink.com/?F2475629B HOSPITAL ORDER FOR MAN WITH 50-YEAR HISTORY OF SEX ATTACKS 11:00 - 08 August 2005 A former taxi driver who sexually abused children and teenagers over a 50-year period has been detained in a secure mental hospital for life. Michael John Lee, 66, was responsible for sexually assaulting males aged nine to 19 from 1953 to 2003, Exeter Crown Court was told. He was found unfit to plead by a jury in May this year. A fresh jury then decided after hearing the evidence that Lee had committed 26 charges of indecent assault, gross indecency and indecency with a child, as alleged by his victims. Lee, of Hamlin Gardens, Heavitree, Exeter, abused children a number of times in the 1950s and 1960s, but four of the charges related to November 2003, when Lee had travelled to the Warner Village Leisure Complex in Plymouth and indecently touched a 12-year-old boy on a dodgem ride. On the same date, he approached three other boys and offered them £5 if they would go into the public toilets with him. In the same month Lee propositioned a 12-year-old boy and his 13-year-old male friend in the toilets at the Royal Devon & Exeter Hospital. Lee was at this time a patient at Wonford House psychiatric hospital. One boy was abused by Lee over a period of four years when he was between the ages of nine and 13 in the 1950s. Another was abused between the ages of 15 and 19 in the 1960s. At Exeter Crown Court on Friday, prosecutor David Evans said there were four possible sentences - a hospital order, guardianship order, supervision and treatment order, or an absolute discharge. He said the hospital order was the most suitable in Lee's case, and pointed out it was not in the court's remit to decide at which hospital he should be treated. Judge Graham Cottle made an order that Lee should be admitted to a secure hospital and that his release should be decided by the Secretary of State, under the Mental Health Act. |

Oh yeah, it was a cab driver thus .Ollie Not anti PH, just second class London Minicabs who think the public, the Taxi trade and the Police have forgotten about the last 40 years and what your industry is like. Leopards (in the wild) don't change their spots. As for the above, whats that got to do with London Taxi drivers? Nothing as usual Ollie, because since time began we've always been thoroughly vetted and tested. Keep trawling the www, i'm sure you will find a story somewhere. Parp Parp, roll up roll up, ............
